Extraordinary eyesight cannot be considered a "special skill" supporting a U.S.S.G. section 3B1.3 enhancement in a casino card cheating scheme. Substantial training or education is what makes a skill "special" for purposes of this section; intrinsic physical attributes are not skills, because skills involve proficiency with respect to a discrete task or set of tasks.
